Feature
The October issue of The
Notices contains many pleasures.There is a feature
about Archimedes’s palimpsest, and another that traces
the concept of curvature back to Nicole Oresme. A doctoral
student and an associate professor of mathematics from Purdue
have teamed to pen a Doceamus piece about
teaching university mathematics; there is a retrospective on the
life and work of topologist Dan Kan, and, finally, there is a
report on the STaR program at the University of
Missouri–Columbia. —Steven G. Krantz,
